Succession Quiz
The Roy family, Waystar Royco, and the greatest show about terrible rich people.
The Roy family, Waystar Royco, and the greatest show about terrible rich people.
Succession won 19 Primetime Emmy Awards across its four seasons, including Outstanding Drama Series twice. This quiz covers the Roy family's ruthless power struggles, the satirical world of Waystar Royco, and every backstab along the way.
Each round presents 10 randomized questions from a pool of 50, with four multiple-choice options and instant feedback after every answer. Your final score comes with a performance tier and shareable results.
You'll explore the real-world inspirations behind Waystar Royco, the Emmy-winning performances, the show's most iconic moments from Boar on the Floor to the devastating finale, and the genius of Jesse Armstrong's writing.
Creator Jesse Armstrong has said the Roy family is a composite inspired by several media dynasties, including the Murdochs, the Redstones (Viacom), the Hearsts, and the Maxwells. While the Murdoch parallels are strongest, no single family is the direct model.
Succession ran for four seasons on HBO from 2018 to 2023, totaling 39 episodes. Creator Jesse Armstrong always intended to end the show on his own terms, and the series finale aired on May 28, 2023.
In the series finale, none of the Roy siblings end up running Waystar Royco. The company is sold to Lukas Matsson's GoJo, with Tom Wambsgans installed as the American CEO — a devastating twist that underscores the show's themes about legacy and power.
